i have been dating this guy that is biplor, he wont say that he has the disorder once he tells me that he loves me and then when he gets in that mood he tells me that he want to be alone and by his self, then as soon as he comes out of it he wants me and dont want me to leave, and tells me that he is glad that i can understand his mood swings, but last week i found out that he was talking to another girl and when i told him that i knew about it we started to fight and he beat me up what makes them do stuff like this

It sounds like he's not taking medication. People with BP disorder HAVE TO take their meds. and definitely should be in therapy also. Violence is part of the illness, mood swings etc. But, you cannot make someone take their meds. I would stay away. He has to do what is necessary to keep the disorder under control, first and foremost by taking the meds. and being in therapy. Unfortunately, that is the only way to live a "somewhat" normal life. If he knows he is BP and has accepted this, he shouldn't have a problem doing what's right. Again, I would stay away. Best of luck to you.

What concerns me most is that you said he beat you up. While you can deal with the mood swings with good communication and understanding (my poor bf, what he has to deal with.) but when it comes to physical violence, stay away.

With all your heart. You might want to get some info on what kind of role you will play in his life. This is serious Illness and there are many levels a person goes threw. It's not his fault on what he does or how he comes across to you. People without this Illness my think they know what they are going threw but in all reality they can't even come close to know what it is like to have it all the person can do is just be there and love them and most of all have PATIANTS with that person and alot of it.....
